Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْجَعِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ وَافَقْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ مَا أَقُولُ فِيهَا قَالَ قُولِي اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ.
English Translation
Abu al-Nadr told us, al-Ashja’i told us, from Sufyan, from Alqama ibn Marthad, from Ibn Buraydah, from Aisha, who said: "O Messenger of Allah, if I should happen upon the Night of Decree, what should I say in it?" He said: "Say: 'O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness.'"
